THE PLOT
Diede has Asperger's syndrome, a driver's license she doesn't use, and kleptomaniac tendencies. At home, most of the attention goes to her autistic brother, so it's usually hard to be with her family. Secretly she can't wait for the summer vacation to end. When Robin moved houses, he brought nothing more than the clothes he was wearing and a bag full of textbooks. The relationship with his family is under a lot of pressure because of why they moved. He would prefer to forget everything that happened. Diede knows Robin from when they went to the same high school and is hesitant to talk to him at first, because he used to be one of the cool kids and she was... well, introvert. Will they be able to find something in each other that they're unable to find on their own?
